this is cheating because BB is influencing the HGs on who to vote for in order to preserve their own interests (AP). This is no longer a competition. Why have them vote at all? If BB wants to dictate who stays and who goes home then what's the point? If they want to turn this into a scripted show, then they need to be upfront about it and stop pretending it is in any way an actual competition.

Bon, I agree with that. I just cannot imagine Eric would have accepted the role if he knew that it would be used to get him evicted. I really think he wants to win BB.

Did it ever occur to you that Eric was told about the concept of AP and that if he agreed to do it he would become a HG? If he declined he would not be part of the cast to prevent him from revealing the twist either accidentally or otherwise?

I feel better now.. I sent a copy of the transcript of Amber telling them the DR was trying to get her to keep Eric to Foxnews..so they can do a follow up on the article about Amber and how BB is trying to save face by cheating!... Nynana, whose post did you copy? Who sent the letter to Fox? I agree it isn't cheating and Fox isn't going to get involved in gossip. If whoever posted this is going by that video, she was talking about getting in trouble for the remarks.

That's exactly what happened, Redhawk, but the people who feel he hasn't done enough for THEM, don't care. The think he should have gone home.

Well Danielle would be the only one to use the veto on her Dad and if that happens you shove up Zach their right hand guy and vote him out. Leaving them no one to really play the game with them. You take the loss in not getting both of them out but you have them cornered so that you control the votes should they get the next HOH and then the following week you go at them again.

Who was Zach talking to when he asked if they were thinking about reconsidering? Was it Dani?

I thought AP was playing for US, not for CBS. Otherwise CBS could just tell him which player they wanted nominated, etc. so they could keep the players they know the viewers like to watch.

That's exactly what I think Redhawk. Then when he got in the house he decided that he was going to circumvent his role that we were playing "with" him and not that he was playing "for" us. This is where the problem started.

All the DR was doing was trying discredit Dick's lies about Eric. Dick was right there with Eric getting Nick out. Nick wasn't in their alliance. How is that setting someone up. You're not in our alliance; we're voting you out. Simple as that.

It never was a pure competition. If it was a pure competition, BB would never say anything to them at all and just let the game play itself out. That would mean BB not saying one word to them because anything BB says influences the game.

The whole AP thing just doesn't work. No one is going to agree on it. There are those who see the AP as a means to help out ANOTHER player. Not the actual AP. If the AP doesn't play the game for a certain fav "some" get pissed. Thats the problem with the concept. BB couldn't predict if the chosen AP would be so well liked they'd actually help him in the game or simply use him to help along another player.

Redhawk...Yes...I think they had the idea if AP in mind before they found Eric, and while casting, thought he would be great for the job ... I really doubt they had the cast chosen and then looked at Eric and said "Wow maybe we should do something different with this guy. Hey how about having him work for America"

if they are giving Eric info, and yes Lurk Im with you, I heard him saying things VERBATUM that others had said against Eric, it is a complete unfair advantage cause they could continue to it until the end and magically their AP just miraculously wins the whole game! I think it is very unfair to all the other HG's, I think is they are giving Eric info, they should be giving all of them soem degree of info..because when all the other HG's find out what the twist really was, I think they are going to really be pissed off because they will most definitely believe he had an unfair advantage over each one of them..I CBS is better off to not let America have a player in the game, unless he is a robot!

It does in fact seem to be riding the fence between a competition for money and a show purely meant to entertain and get ratings. When one side of it threatens the other, there is a scramble to restore balance.

Eric was NEVER in an alliance with Kail. That was one of Dick's first arguments about Eric. That is not true.

The FACT is not one of us here knows what DR said or didn't say. We are making assumptions based on (as someone earlier said) Gossip, judgement and our own assumptions. (well and the fact that we are all bored and really waiting for the show tonight to really find out who goes and who is next HOH). This all too shall pass, and we can go back to complaining about Amber crying by about 8pm Pacific time tonight.

Redhawk, I assumed that's how he got the position. I figured they made a short-list of possible AP candidates, picked the one off the list that agreed and best met their sensibilities in casting, then turned the others loose. I doubt anyone on the AP list had a chance of getting into the house otherwise, because they would have known the twist if they weren't AP.

When I read certain posters on this board, like Jimmer right now, I turn into Jameka, lol. Ummm, hmmm, ummm hmmm. I'm going to kill her, darnit. I hated James saying the word, "Duma*s" and I'll be darned if I didn't say it a few months ago. BB is bewwy bewwy dangerous for my mouth, lol.
